Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup peeled, grated jicama
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
  • 1 1/4 pound skirt steak, cut into 2 or 3 pieces to fit in your skillet
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, halved and cut into thick slices

  1. Combine jicama, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Sprinkle steak with chili powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  5. Return the skillet to high heat and add remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil, onion, bell peppers and garlic. Cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
